And are you screwing with other people's characters? No. You're screwing with NPCs. We -could- all just ignore NPCs. Great. The entirety of Sirius has a total of between 80 and 200 living people in it at any given time. Instead most of us use them in our RP.

The bases were not rendered unusable, so you can ignore it if it bothers you. The only one directly affected, on account of it all being addressed to his character, was Dab, and I don't see him complaining with regard to that specific incident. PCs were not killed, though I think one or two with multiple Zoner characters may have played it as having had one of them on one of those stations.

I've seen a Nomad Morph somehow infect a Liberty gunboat. Tense standoff near Norfolk. Great fun for all those involved. No-one complained. The gunboat played along. Even got some of the 'NPCs' in the gunboat to start blasting others. He -could- have gone '//Leave my NPCs alone!' But why? What was he losing from it?


ETA: if you -really- wanted, you could petition for a rule in which only admins may decide what NPCs do and what happens to them. You're not even allowed do so much as shoot down an NPC fighter. Would be powergaming, sure, not giving it a chance to bribe you or something.
